THETIA KESTLE
- " Replace your feet! Your posture Thetia! You are open, your enemy could take advantage of this opening to stab you with his sword, injure you or kill you!" my father kept shouting.
It had been a week since I started my sword training, and the only thing I could say was that it was very hard, much harder than I thought. My father was one of the strongest knights Edios had ever known, few people had ever won against him in a fight. He even proudly admitted to me that the King had lost a friendly duel against him when they were younger.
Nevertheless, for a beginner, I thought I was doing pretty well. I received many compliments from the other knights. No one expected a twelve-year-old girl to be able to handle a sword so easily. My father insinuated that it was norm

The morning after he arrived, he asked me to follow him to his workshop, which Mother and Father had built for him while he was in Dracoris. It was located in one of the castle's towers, at the top to be precise. It was Lowis who wanted it to be high up, so that he could practice painting and drawing landscapes. He asked me to sit in a certain way, and for several hours, which in the end began to be interminable, he painted me in the quietest silence. I didn't dare to speak to him because of his concentrated look. It was very difficult not to be able to move for many hours, but I knew that the final result was going to be breathtaking. Once finished, he refused to show it to me. He wanted to add a few more tou

The number of soldiers had doubled and now we could not leave without an escort. In fact, each member of the family was personally assigned one. In mine, the only familiar face I knew was the knight Leroy Guillan. I was happy to have him by my side, especially now that he was secretly helping me learn sword fighting. If mother found out, we would be in big trouble.As far as Angela and Keith were concerned, they didn't show that their situation bothered them.

Hurry!"shouted Jane from the castle entrance, where a carriage surrounded by our escorts was waiting.Today, exceptionally, we had to go to Graham Moore's tailor store in downtown Ashton. I say exceptionally because, we were still not really allowed to go out. Nevertheless, we had to be prepared for the Queen's birthday, we couldn't come dressed in a scruffy way. It was still a major event, where appearances would be the main subject of gossip. Having an outfit that was considered inappropriate or commonplace could tarnish a family's image, regardless of its place in society. Thus, being the second family considered important, we had no choice but to follow these dress codes to please others.Each family had a special code that di

In the meantime, much had happened. Mary had received a letter from her son, announcing that he would be returning occasionally with the Dracoris royal family for the birthday, as the royal family's assistant painter. Mary had cried tears of joy, her son was blossoming and that was all that mattered to her. She hoped that her daughters, too, could blossom and be happy. Every night, before going to bed with her husband, the Duke, she kept repeating how time passed too quickly, how she felt she had not been able to enjoy the time with her children.

It was Jane who had woken everyone up, screaming and running around the summer residence. Hughes had built it just before he met Mary. It was the first home he had allowed himself to build, thanks to his many victories on the battlefield, and to reward him, the King gave him a huge tribute. The family had left on the evening of July 29, and had been riding in a carriage all night. The residence was located about two or three hours from the capital of the Vassethier family's kingdom, in the town of Terwin.Terwin was the third most populous city in the Vassethier Kingdom.

Dazzled by the beauty reflected by those who ruled them. The color of the Vassethier family was blue and the whole family was dressed in it. The dress of the princess was simple in appearance, but in the light, it shone, it sparkled thanks to the many inlaid gems. She also wore a crystal and gold tiara, with a blue sapphire in the center, and a small, discreet ring on the index finger of her right hand, also made of gold with a sapphire. The King, Archie and the Crown Prince wore a very similar blue ensemble. The only difference was that the King had to hang his military medals on the

The four members of the Kestle Duchy stood proudly in the midst of the guests and other dignitaries. Dressed in the official color, red, they stood out from the other guests. It was a sublime and perfect picture that they represented, everything was harmonious, nothing was superfluous. They almost overshadowed the royal family. From the moment their feet touched the red carpet, the gossip was overwhelming. Since the Kestles were the second most important family on Edios, getting their favor or even their attention was the sole purpose of the visit of some nobles and bourgeois. Many were the heads of families who wanted to have them in their family. However, their fate had already been decided long ago.On Edios, and even beyond its borders,
